IFTY bread wheat lines were evaluated for drought tolerance and compared to six local cultivars under three water regimes (Well-watered = 0.8 Evapotranspiration (ETp), Mild drought stress = 0.6 ETp and severe drought stress = 0.4 ETp.). Eight agronomic traits were evaluated, i.e. days to heading, number of spikes/plant, 100-kernel weight (g), relative water content (%), chlorophyll concentration (μg cm-2), ...
